Chapter 52 - Court Hearing (5)

The court resumed after break.Judge Baek sat on the bench and stared at the faces in front of her.She studied the evidence in front of her and found that no evidence had been submitted regarding Leona Knight's attempt to harm the child.She found this very peculiar.If Ryu Long had submitted evidence then there would have been no possibility of even a visitation...then what was he hiding?and why?

The court has decided to personally interview those involved in this case.We will begin with the plaintiff Ms Leona Knight.Then Mr Ryu Long,Mr Pei and Ms Alicia Lu respectively."Ms Knight,please proceed towards my chambers.You have 5 minutes"

Judge Baek proceeded towards her chambers.After a short discussion with her attorney,Leona Knight moved towards the chambers.

A brief knock on the door and then the door was opened and Leona Knight was escorted into the chambers by a court receiver.The court employee was present to record the interview and be a witness that no under the table deals were being conducted.

Judge Baek looked at the demure woman and with the gesture of a hand asked her to sit."Ms.Knight,you have suffered a lot in the past few years.I woukd like you to expand about how often have you tried to meet your son and been thwarted."

"Your Honor,I came back to the country last month and have since then been trying to meet Ru.But forget meeting,I have been unable to even see my son.His security has been so strict that all my attempts have been thwarted.I really want to meet my son and hold him and kiss love him amd love him.Please, your honor,let me love my son."

Leona Knight was now sobbing heavily

between her speech."He is even calling another woman 'mother'.That is a slap on my face.I realize that I abandoned my child but it was not by choice.My Godfather had just passed away and my husband had decided to leave me.I was an emotional mess,your honor.How could I take care of a child when I couldn't even care for myself.I blamed myself for my weakness.It was only after intensive therapy that I realized I was not the one who was weak.My doctor made me realize that Ryu Long was just as responsible for my depression.I beg you my lord,please help me and my son!!"

Judge Baek looked at the sobbing mess and scoffed inside.Did the woman consider herself a drama main lead.The evidence she had presented was not enough to implicate Ryu Long.

"Ms Knight,I sympathize with your position.You need not worry.The court will do justice by you.I have one last question.Are you happy with your current fiance and do you think he will do well as a father."

"Yes,your honor.He is a good man and has promised to support my son always.We have already hired the best nannies and caretakers for him.I have also taken a break from my career and am going to be a stay at home mother "

Judge Baek wrote down a few notes and then indicated for Ms Knight to leave.She then announced asking for Ryu Long to enter.

Please inform the others that rest of the interviews after Mr Long will be conducted tomorrow.
